Stumbled across this yesterday from the Bennetts website. Pretty much confirms what everyone is saying about the new Blade. http://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocia...da-fireblade-confirmed-for-2017/#.Vy3MqOTmq9I However this bit was a bit shocking - "They also confirmed a prototype model has been testing at a Spanish circuit within the last fortnight. Significant enhancements to its electronics are expected, with the headline-grabbing 'MotoGP bike for the road', RC213V-S, as the source of much of the development for future sports bikes from the Japanese manufacturer, including the 2017 CBR1000RR" 2017 prototype blade on track and no one has pictures??
Only pics going around are the kar Lee design ones again! I'd be surprised they are testing in Europe just yet as most of their testing is done on Suzuka their own track
Kar must piss his pants every time the forums go into meltdown about the 'all new conquering blade' that's 'out next year'..... And everyone starts saying his mock up is the bike
I'm expecting the DTC / DCT transmission on the new bike to give it a bit of an edge , and then add cruise control / QS and some other bling - hey maybe even heated grips!
